Eisenhower's Prayer

Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Farewell Address

“To all the peoples of the world, I once more give expression to America’s prayerful and continuing inspiration:

We pray that peoples of all faiths, all races, all nations, may have their great human needs satisfied; that those now denied opportunity shall come to enjoy it to the full; that all who yearn for freedom may experience its spiritual blessings; that those who have freedom will understand, also, its heavy responsibilities; that all who are insensitive to the needs of others will learn charity; that the scourges of poverty, disease and ignorance will be made to disappear from the earth, and that, in the goodness of time, all peoples will come to live together in a peace guaranteed by the binding force of mutual respect and love.”

We are all God's children

I may not define God the same way that you do. In fact. you may call God by another name, or by Goddess. The point is, it doesn't matter. We are all God's, regardless of the definition, regardless of the belief, regardless of the name. I am a mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, cousin and friend. I am called Grandma, Ma, Momma, Sandra, Saundra, Sandra Jane, and Sandi. I don't care which name they use, I will answer to them all. If any of my children or grandchildren ever decided to call me by another name - I would not care - I would still answer. If you believe in a supreme deity that you believe embodies righteousness on a much grander scale than any human is capable of possessing, then how can you expect anything less from this deity? And, if you expect less from this deity, then you must be incorrect with your definition of supreme being or deity. How can you believe that only "some" of the people of this earth are God's children? From t

Prosperity and Faith

Image
The topic of prosperity can sometimes cause controversy among believers, churches and denomination. It’s a complicated concept and there are no easy answers, yet the Bible says that God wants us to prosper. It's a well-known bible teaching even though some preachers refuse to talk about it. There are many reasons WHY we do not prosper when we think we should. I believe we should always have faith in God’s promises, and seek the blessings He proclaimed to us. Prosperity is promised to those of faith... but there are conditions to prosperity. One of the primary blocks to prosperity is the condition of our heart. Sometimes it seems that God is just not listening, but we should not lose hope or faith. Perhaps we should examine our hearts from time to time, and see if there is something lingering there that is actually blocking the blessings that God wants to send our way. Some hurt or offense that is buried deep in our psyche and deep in our heart. Believe me when I say tha

What is the Word

The study of God. It's on on-going process and I encourage everyone to become a student. There are many discrepancies and contradictions in the Bible, which to many people today wrongly call "The Word of God." I don't know when the Bible became the "Word," but when I was a child the Word was God, it was not a book. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (KJV Bible, John 1.1) Somehow, this term has gained popularity and is considered truth by countless numbers of those who claim to know God. Step by step, I will be probing into the secrets that are hidden between the lines of the scriptures and which have been buried from our conscious minds. Unfortunately, many of our churches, denominational doctrines and many of our pastors have contributed greatly to our ignorance of God. It is time to return to the way of the ancients... those who developed a relationship with God without the dubious benefit of preachers
